BLURB.
Arianna Capizola is her father’s daughter.
Humble. Hardworking. Honest.
She’d rather spend her days helping at the local shelter than brushing shoulders with her vain and entitled classmates.
Niccolรฒ Marchetti is his father’s son.
Dark. Dangerous. Deceitful.
He’d rather spend his days getting bloody in the ring than attending class and keeping up pretences.
When their paths cross at Montague University neither of them are willing to drop the walls they’ve spent so long building. But he can’t resist the girl with stars in her eyes, and she can’t forget the guy who saved her that night.
There’s only one catch.
Nicco isn’t Arianne’s knight-in-shining armor, he’s the son of her father’s greatest enemy.
He is the enemy.
And their families are at war.
**Prince of Hearts is the first book in Nicco and Ari’s duet. Due to mature content that some readers may find distressing, this book is recommended for readers 18+

MY REVIEW.
5 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fantastically Angsty Read!!
As a fan of L.A. Cotton and mafia reads, this book hit the spot!! It is chock full of interesting characters, a great storyline and all kinds of other stuff.
"I was the girl looking in, always on the periphery but never in the spotlight."
This girl better be careful what she is wishing for, as the spotlight isn't the friend of a girl in her shoes. Arianne has been sheltered for most of her life. As the princess of a mob boss, her father has gone to great lengths to protect his only child. Now that she is eighteen and wants to attend college like other kids her age, he has reluctantly eased on the reins a bit and let her. The one condition, nobody knows who she really is. Arianne is now Lina, a regular college freshman looking for some new experiences.
Nicco is also in college, but it's pretty much for show. His life is quite the opposite of Arianne, however similar in many ways. The biggest is that it isn't his own. He will inherit the family business like it or not and the business includes finding the daughter of his father's rival to use as leverage. He knows she's at the same school, what he didn't know is that he was falling for her.
The blurb makes no mistake about how these two are going to cross paths, but boy what a build up it is and the surrounding fallout made for some great angst. These are just kids dealing with some really adult stuff, while the adults keep throwing more wrenches into the various situations. It is definitely a story of kids fighting the parents battle.
These characters instantly drew me in and kept me there. Not only are we following our leads, but the extended families and friends. It seems that each character we meet has a bit of a backstory, so there is all kinds of ways this series can go. As for Arianne and Niccos's story... you can only hope for the best.
The book is well written and action packed from the first page to the last. Just when you think L.A. Cotton isn't going to go there, she does and then some. She did a great job at setting the characters and pace of this book. While the characters are young, I wouldn't consider this a YA read, it gets pretty heavy at times. As the first in the series, we are left with tons of questions and wondering how this is all going to play out. I looked ahead and see there are five books in the Verona Legacy which I am excited for!

AUTHOR BIO.
Author of over thirty mature young adult and new adult
novels, L A is happiest writing the kind of books she loves to read: addictive
stories full of teenage angst, tension, twists and turns.
Home is a small town in the middle of England where she currently juggles being
a full-time writer with being a mother/referee to two little people. In her
spare time (and when she’s not camped out in front of the laptop) you’ll most
likely find L A immersed in a book, escaping the chaos that is life.
